The 2013-2016 Code was supposed to include big changes to the Vault Final scoring. As opposed to Vault 1 Difficulty and Execution + Vault 2 Difficulty and Execution, scores were supposed to be determined using the formula, Difficulty of Vault 1/2 + Difficulty of Vault 2/2+ [10- (Deductions of Vault 1 + Deductions of Vault 2)]. This equation puts a greater emphasis on execution, so I decided to use this equation to alter the 2012 Olympic Vault Final and 2011 Worlds Vault Final.

I did not do Ellie Black's average, for obvious, sad reasons.

As you can see here, the biggest change is Maroney dropping from a silver medal to fourth. Also, Pena dropped only one spot, the result of sitting down her Produnova. This system, as you can clearly see here, shows that if you go for the difficulty, you better be able to do it well.

I also did not include Pena because she scored a 0 on her second vault.

There is only one change here, which surprised me. Tatiana Nabieva scored higher here than Gulia Steingruber. Once again, this goes to show that in this system, execution is weighted higher than difficulty.
Personally, I think while it looks confusing, this system is better than simple averages. I like the way it weighs safe, clean gymnastics higher than terrifying high difficulty vaults. If this system was implemented, we would see less chucked vaults, make the vault final MUCH more aesthetically pleasing.
